No wonder Li Sheng expended so much effort to explore the overseas world.
This bitch...
Once you buy this thing from Chang'an, it will be a huge profit!
Smell how fragrant this thing is, it will definitely become popular in Chang'an, and you can even imagine that it will become popular all over the world soon.
Thinking of this, Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji, both a prince and a relative of the emperor, could not help but be tempted!
Stimulate!
So exciting!
In this way pepper can generate huge profits,
And overseas, how many unique species are there that are not found in China?
If it's just something that looks strange, then that's fine. It's just a spectacle of auspiciousness. Chai Shao, Chang Sun, and Wuji are all high officials in Chang'an. I've seen too many of these things.
But if it's something like potatoes, sweet potatoes...
The situation is different for this kind of thing. It can change the national economy and people's livelihood and ecology, and it is fundamentally different from things that can only be sold at high prices by relying on the dividends of the prosperous times.
If these things could be brought back to China, then this achievement would probably not be inferior to Ban Chao's. Wouldn't that be exciting?
It’s simply very exciting and extremely stimulating!
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji sent Ma Zhou away, but their hearts still couldn't calm down. This pepper was too fragrant...
Wouldn't it be nice if I could make some on my own and entertain guests in my house in the future?
However, the two of them inquired about it...
But I also know that there is no place to get this pepper. No one knows where this thing comes from. As for bringing it...
Li Sheng got all these at some point.
Now Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji froze. There was no source?
As for the pepper in the barracks canteen, the two of them got a few kilograms...but a few kilograms can't do anything. It will probably be eaten in about a year - this is only eaten by the family in the mansion, if it is used by the entire mansion
, that one sent Yue away directly.
"There is no source, it was brought directly by the Holy Marquis..."
Chai Shao thought for a moment and looked at Changsun Wuji,
"Brother Changsun, what do you think?"
"Well……"
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I remembered it, it seems that there is a record in the history books, this pepper... I have seen it somewhere."
"It should be historical materials from the Han Dynasty... I remember that Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy at that time, and he really brought pepper back from Da Qin..."
Changsun Wuji suddenly remembered.
Chai Shao couldn't help but be startled at this moment, "It turns out that this pepper... wasn't found by Li Sheng. It has been around since ancient times?"
"That's not true."
Changsun Wuji shook his head, "Although pepper was introduced to make finished spices at that time, the cultivation method was not introduced. It is said to be very special, and it is easy to adapt to the climate. Therefore, it became popular for a while, and soon disappeared.
Because...the Han people tried planting at that time, but basically failed."
"Later, it seemed that people were still cultivating it in remote places around Fuguang, but no one could find it, so it was basically lost."
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Chai Shaocai frowned and nodded. Unexpectedly, there were so many articles in this pepper. This pepper was not introduced to the Central Plains by Li Sheng.
However, even though it was not introduced by Li Sheng, Chai Shao still did not dare to underestimate this matter.
Li Sheng learned a lot of magic tricks from somewhere, but he still has the mind to find this pepper...
One of the major reasons why this thing is considered lost is that no one has found it since Zhang Qian introduced it - in fact, this is a real loss.
But Li Sheng was able to find this guy...
Chai Shao no longer knew how to describe Li Sheng's information gathering ability. It was simply abnormal. Now he knew astronomy and geography.
In addition to this, Changsun Wuji then said,
"But apart from this, I still remember one thing. The pepper we use now is called white pepper. There is actually a kind of black pepper, which is said to have a unique flavor and is more attractive..."
"oh?!"
Chai Shao was immediately excited when he heard it. There is also black pepper?
But what Changsun Wuji meant...
"Ahem..." Changsun Wuji coughed slightly, then revealed a sigh.
"White pepper comes from the Western Regions. I don't know where to find black pepper. Maybe I have to go to America..."
"With this coming and going, I'm afraid it won't be something that can be obtained in a hurry."
When Changsun Wuji said this, Chai Shao couldn't help but be speechless.
This is indeed the case...
If you think about it carefully, these things are all imported... In other words, these are by-products of the rise and development of an empire.
Chai Shao suddenly looked back at the busy camp construction site on the shore of the island, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's ridiculous that he is still the Duke of the country. Compared with this real achievement... his little merit is just a joke.
America……
Naturally, Chai Shao had heard of this word mentioned by Changsun Wuji.
However, few people in the fleet knew this geographical term, and the palace did not disclose much information about America.
But Chai Shao still knew that this was another world thousands of miles away, another piece of China. This was the basic information about America.
The fertile land of China has given birth to so many products, so many heroes and so many stories.
Li Sheng... no, the Holy Marquis named this new world America... What's the deep meaning in it?
All this made Chai Shao feel trembling.
The huge benefits in the distance, the long challenges of heaven...that is an ocean thousands of miles away.
Only at this moment did Chai Shao understand...
Shengxiang Hou, he is different from himself and all the Gonggun princes in the government and the public. He has been acting for the distant and long-term interests of China.
You can say that Li Sheng is not on the same channel as him at all. He is higher than everyone else in the entire dynasty!
With a sigh, Chai Shao then looked to Changsun Wuji aside.
"Brother Zhangsun... I think we'd better stop playing and find something to do as soon as possible so as not to waste our time."
When Chai Shao said this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Chai Shao's words sounded like a young man's ambition, but Chai Shao was already so old.
But soon Changsun Wuji understood what Chai Shao meant.
This time Li Sheng led the fleet to conquer the sea, which is of great significance. Being able to participate in this matter...
How lucky are you and Chai Shao?
This is a major historical process.
The two quickly left the shady cabin and walked towards the outer camp site where half of the construction was completed and work was being done in full swing.
It was also because of the pepper incident that Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji realized that what Li Sheng was doing this time was a really big business. If he didn't take some credit at this time, he would not be able to explain it to his children and grandchildren in the future...
…
However, after Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji returned to the construction site of the camp, Li Sheng had just come out of a state of "retreat" and was wandering around...
